THE BASE BALL CLUB.

The officers of the Wichita Bose Ball asso-
citation have been extremely energetic and
have set about getting up club in true
Wichita style. In just one week from the
origin Of the scheme they have succeeded in
getting together a number of young players
who come very highly recommended, and if
they sustain their regulations upon which
the managers have brought them to Wichita
they will receive hearty, genuine Wichita
welcome.
There are now here twelve men who will
at once go into practice each afternoon at
the corner of Lawrence and Thirteenth
They are Schulze who caught last season for
the Edwardsville, ILL.,, club and was after
wards signed by the Browns, of st. Louis
but was released about a month ago. Ira N.
Perkins caught for the Cairo, H., club in 1883.
"a and 's5 with Healy who pitched for the
st. Louis Haroons. In 1885 Cairo won the
Southern championship. C. N. Smith,
pitcher Of last years Decatur, ILL.,,
team during the first of the season
and later on Of the Little Rock, Arkansas,
nine. L. Riley has a very good record as q
strike out pitcher on one of the southern
clubs, under the old rules.
Vim. Hemp played last year and part Of
this as change pitcher for Alton, Ill, and is
credited with good work Louis Whistler
was Atoms first base for the past two sea-
sons. James Stewart played second for the
Rescues, the champions last year of North st.
Louis. who won % out of 81 game
Gus Scharine hansen was St. Joe's third base
last year. John Haber played shortstop for
the Waltons, Of st. Louis, and the Madisons.
of Edwardsvile, champions Of southern Him
ois in 1885 E. Drummond played shortstop
( or the Leadvilles in 1876, and Charles Grit
Fl n center fielder OF the some club. G. A.
Rose, a we'll known local player, concludes
the very creditable list.
1t will he seen from the above that the
players have good regulations, and if
properly sustained will win for Wichita the
state championships not that of the west,
and this is just what the people OF Wichita
expect of them. In order to do this they
will have to play ball for all they are worth.
Work has been begun on the grounds, and
the grand stand will b commenced tomor-
row. Nearly mile of the street car extern
sion to the park at the corner OF Waco and
CLARK streets is now laid.
Mr. W alden was yesterday collecting sub
scriptions and reported not kicker on the

GAS SANDS on SEA LsvsL.

It will be remembered that in yesterdays
issue an article was communicated taking
the position that there were some doubts
about securing good flow of gas 500 feet
below sea level.
In q conversation with Mr.. J. c. Tenant
yesterday, CONTRACTOR for sinking the gas
we'll he stated that two thirds Of few Of gas
in Pennsylvania and southern Ohio, came
from sand located between 700 and 900
feet below sea level The Gordon sand in
Pennsylvania which is nearly fifty feet
thick and is the largest oil and gas bearing
sand in hat state is near 1850
feet below sea level. The Smith well comes
from that sand and produces 200 barrles OF
oil per day.
The wells at Murraysville and Grapesville,
from which Pittsburg is supplied, are four
teen hundred feet below sea level.
The location of the well being put down by
Mr.. Tenant Is near thirteen hundred feet
above sea level. It is the opinion Of a num-
Der Of gentlemen versed in that subject that
the level of the sea has nothing whatever to
do with the gas or oil sands. The conditions
may have been such that those sands may be
located at any distance below sea level

Clothing of the Coreans.

In the matter of clothing Corea is
unique. The prevailing color is what is
supposed to be white. A man starting
out in the morning arrayed in freshly
laundried clothing presents a remarkably
fresh appearance, but on his return at
night he may not be spotless. The
articles of clothing worn are, first, hat,
or rather two, or even three, are worn at
the same time; tunic, loose and reach
ing to the waist loose, baggy white
trousers supported by a girdle; white
leggins, white stockings, shoes of various
kinds, and over all coat the sleeves of
which are very flowing, and reach down
to the hips or lower, and are sewed up
from the bottom to the wrist, so as to
form very capacious pockets, where
merchants often carry goods in astonish-
ing quantities. In these pockets the
petty official carries his fan, his handker-
chiefs, his tablets for writing, and sun
dry little articles Not to be forgotten
are the purse for coins and knife and the
tobacco-pouch and pipe suspended from
the girdle, without which no Corean is
dressed. In the case of men of high
rank, however, these latter articles are
carried by his servants, great retinue of
whom attend him. OF all lands in the
world Corea is the land of hats. There
is some variety but no change of style
The fashion once set, everybody follows
it and sticks to it. With the exception
of the forests of the Amazon, where hats,
like umbrellas, are worn to shed the
snakes which rain down from the dense
overhanging branches, Corea leads the
world in the superficial area of headgear.
They may be seen there measuring two
feet from the rim to the crown. The
stockings and shoes are also very
peculiar. .-LOnd0n FiqdrO.

Metropolitan Night Vendors.

The wandering sausage man has be-
come familiar part of the night life Of
New York now. He brings his wares
into saloons, and sells them at the street
corners. l noticed one in the Bowery the
other night who had quite pretentious
outfit, and looked as if he had come to
stay. The New York sausages are about
double the size of the Western ones. The
price, too, is double. But here they
throw some mustard in with the horse
radish and put oleomargarine on the
bread. The refinement of metropolitan
taste is met also with side dish, with
out which the boiled sausage is hardly
complete Our local sausage men supply
sauer-kraut with the sausage for an addi-
tional nickel
There is a vender who makes a trade
in chicken and turkey sandwiches and
another who sells hard boiled eggs ex-
clusively. A man now makes the rounds
nightly with a basket-load of fried oys-
tiers, which he sells at the rate of two
for five cents. AS the oyster-houses
charge at least thirty cents for half a
dozen fried oysters it must be manifest
either that they make great deal of
profit or this humble tradesman loses
money. Helooks fat and clean and happy,
however. The old-time crab and lobster
men, who used to pmyey midnight ban
quets to the jewellers in our public houses

Living Longer.

The prolongatlon of life in England by
reason of the application of sanitary
measures in the last thirty years is such
that 349, 600 persons were alive at the
end of 1886 who wonld have been dead
if the rate of mortality Of the period from
1870 to 1880 had not been reduced as it
was. The death rate for the six years
since 1880 was 1913 per 1000 Of popula-
tion, as against 214 in the decade be-
tween 1870 and 1880. The lower rate is
largely due to the decrease of zymotic or
filthy diseases. Between 1860 and 1870
there were 4. % deaths for each thousand
of population from such diseases. Since
1880 the rate is but 2.43. The birth rate
last year was 32.7 or lower than at any
time in the past forty years. Infant NOR
tality also diminishes. Since 1880 the
rate has been 141 per !, 900 births, against
149 in the decade preceding 1880. These
facts as a whole indicate, it is thought, a
larger diffusion Of knowledge and the
real comforts of ife.-Baltim0re Sun.

WISE WORDS.

The bearing and training Of child il
woman's wisdom.
The dome of the temple Of happiness
rests upon beams of joy.
A mans worst difficulties begin when
he is able to do as he likes.
Good manners and good morals are
sworn friends and firm allies.
Happy are they who work. Then, the
task finished, each one sleeps the same
sleep
When the forenoon Of life is wasted,
there is not much hope Of a peaceful
evening.
Nature intends that at fixed periods,
men should succeed each other by the
instrumentality of death. We shall
never outwit Nature we shall die as
usual.
There are treasures laid up in the
heart, treasures Of charity, piety, temper
ance and soberness. These treasures a
man takes with him beyond death when
he leaves this world.
Every action, every thought, every
feeling, contribute to the education of
the temper, the habits and understanding,
and exercises an inevitable influence upon
all the acts Of our future life.

A Scene at Sedan.

At Sedan there was truce before the
final surrender. General Wimpffen, who
was in command of the French troops,
wanted favorable terms; but, like Gen.
eral Grant at Fort Donelson, the Germans
insisted upon an unconditional surrender.
Then we will resume the battle, " was
the reply.
VERY good, sir, said Won Molke, qui-
city. "We have 240, 900 men, you about
1000, and 500 cannon are in position to
open on your lines"
De Wimpifen hesitatod few moments,
and decided TO surrender.

Moltke, or Of Napoleon III, which YOU
are delivering up"
